We ere, we confess; afraid , to give credit to tittle reports, however anxioosiy we ,may wish them to be true, ..because we have so of;en been deceived by false intelligence. It 'is, however, most singular, that such a number of concurrent accounts should have been received of the success of the Austrians, if there was no foan 'dation for them. • The day before yesterday, some •persens belonging to Deal arrived there from Hol land, where they had been for some time priSoners; two Dutchmen came over with them. They state, that when they left Flushing, accounts had reached that place, of the defeat of the French ; that a con 'Siderable degree of confusion prevailed in Hannon, and that all the troops bad received orders to march for Germany, even the very guards of the pct. soners had been withdrawn. We this morning ,tew eeived a letter from FoltnOuth, which states that a Vessel had arrived there on Wednesday hum Baur. de,Ltax, the Captain of which declared, that when he vaned it was reported that the French had been fettled in Ger Many. Such are the accounts which have teached 'la from different quarters, and which we trust we shall have the pleasure of cenfirming.— , The accounts,from Italy admit that the Austrians had • - eg firlst obtained cnn.iderahle successes, but that in c4nsuquence of the viclorics of the French inOtiaria, the Austrian - army in Italy had begun its retreat. A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this mottling ; the following are its principal contents : GOTTENBURGII, MAY Afttnur arrived' here yesterday from Stockholm, and will this after. npoil go on . board the rile,raiylJ iti, to proceed to England.

The Repot t also suggests, " That the judicial ministration in the West Indies would be improved, if Chief Justices were appointed from this , 4790 11 1 , whose qualification should be, that they have b ee _ praElising Barritcrs at the EngliSh Bar, of-!eY.' 0 ,"_ years standing at least; that they should be r estrio ' •ed frocks being connected in any plantation concern or mercantile engagement in the Weil Jodie; that -their isslerjesAr.e.paitt.by tbitt r bOtiy, and be 1001. , sterling per annum, withoutany fees or perqui4ites whatever."
